[quote] Texas GOP platform: criminalize gay marriage and ban sodomy, outlaw strip clubs and pornography
The Texas Republican Party gives a whole new meaning to the word conservative.

Deep breaths there Jason. It's an election year and they gotta make their voters happy and get the base excited enough to vote. Besides with the internet, how the hell do they intend to keep porn out of Texas anyways?

My friend who lives in Texas was telling me they were going to criminalize possession of anything that depicts hardcore pornographic images/video, outlaw the sale of said material in a retail fashion in the state, and criminalize (via a misdemeanor offense) the sale of anything that could be considered pornographic. The only nude images allowed to be sold would be those of "artistic merit".frigidmagi wrote:Deep breaths there Jason.
